ISAAC GRIMSLEY, OF LAMAR/COLORADO.

WHEELED TOY.

Application filed'February 7, 1921.

To aZZ whom it may concem:

Be it known that I, ISAAC GRIMsLEY, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Lamar, Prowers county, Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wheeled Toys, of which the following is a specification.

y invention relates to improvements in wheeled toys, and the object of my improvement is to furnish a friction driven toy of this type operated by trundling it along a floor or other surface, and which comprehends several features of a novel and interesting character.

This object I have accomplished by the means which are hereinafter described and claimed, and which are illustrated in the ac companying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a s1de elevation and Fig. 2 is a front elevatlon of one of my improved wheel toys.

Similar numerals of reference denote corresponding parts throughout the several views.

Tread-wheels 3 are rotatably mounted on opposite ends of a transverse axle orframemember 1 which is supplied in front with a fixed forwardly projecting medial handle 2 by which a child may trundle the device back and forth. A pair of vertically disposed cylindrical standards 4 are fixedly erected upon the axle 1 near but spaced from the inner faces of the wheels 3. Rotatable bodies composed of vertically spaced disks 5 and 7 are rigidly connected by a number of vertical standards 6, said disks having alined central openings whereby they may be rotatably mounted on the standards 4, the outer zones of the lower faces of the lower disks 5 resting upon and frictionally rotated by the tread-wheels 3. Above the upper disks 7, the standards 4 have vertical transverse slots 8 in which are rotatably mounted the headed pins or journals 9 extending axially outward from opposite ends of a shaft 10 whose outer portions rest upon the top of the upper disk 7 and are rotated thereby frictionally. Any kind of structure may be mounted upon the shaft 10 between said spools.

Small dolls or toy animals may be positioned upon the lower disks 5 of the spools against any of the standards 6 and secured Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 8, 1921. Serial No. 443,134.

thereto by ligatures or other removable fastening means.

Like spaced disks 13 are fixed on the shaft 10 and circumferentially contact and are frictionally rotated by the upper disks 7 of the spools. Short fixed standards 19 may project upwardly eccentrically from said disks 7 and have notches 20 or other engaging means whereby a doll may be tied or otherwise secured thereto.

A plurality of radiating arms 15 are fixed on the inner faces of the disks 13 to project therefrom, the disks being cross connected by means of rods 14. Fixed pintles 16 connect the outer ends of opposite arms 15 and intermediate said arms seats 17 are pivotally mounted above their centers of gravity. Small toy figures may be placed on said seats and removably fastened thereon by cord passed through perforations 18 in the backs of the seats. ferns-wheel scribed friction This provides a miniature rotatable by the above dedriven mechanism.

The slots 8 in the upper ends of the standards 4 may be open as shown to facilitate separation of the parts associated therewith, pins 12 being used to retain the journals 9 in place.

Having described 'my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A device of the character described, comprising a carrying wheel, a rotatable member frictionally engaging said carrying wheel to be rotated thereby, another rotatable member frictionally engaging the firstmentioned rotatable member to be rotated thereby, a plurality of fixed arms projecting outwardly from the second-mentioned rotatable member, and a seat-shaped body pivotally suspended on each arm above the center of gravity of the body.

2 device of the character described, comprising a frame member, a pair of carrying wheels mounted on the opposite ends thereof, a pair of transversely spaced axial standards fixedly mounted on said frame member, spools rotatably mounted on said standards, frictionally engaging and rotated by said carrying wheels, a rotatable transverse shaft mounted on said standards, connected disks fixedly mounted on said transverse shaft, treading on said spools and ro-v tated thereby, and seat-shaped bodies plvotally hung on said disks above their centers of gravity.

3. A device of the character described, comprising a frame, a pair of tread-Wheels rotatably mounted thereon, rigidly connected disks rotatably mounted on said frame, a

plurality gravity, and rotatable friction-devices operably engaged between said tread-Wheels and said disk-s.
